4.5 inch lift and 35's

[sixditchoffroad]

I put together this lift and its roughly 4.5 inches.... I'm about to buy a set of 4 bfg mt's 35-12.50-15, for 100 bucks. I know some person out here has done it just cant find it. roughly how much fender should be cut? I've seen some good looking fender cuts, I think the best way is make about 10 1/2 inch slits and fold em in after you cut however much is needed. Is this true? feed back please... thanks aaron

well, put the tires on and see, the back may be alright if not unbolt the fenders and see if you want to cut that big lip or not

 

[bandit455]

the cut and fold method is the best way to do it

you are going to have to bumpstop - make sure you have enough backspacing on your rims and yoare going to have to trim some fender unless you bumpstop a lot... it is do-able but kinda tight with 35's

I didn't look at the thread but I'll bet it's at least 3 or 4 inches of trim to run 35's. I have 33's and they already rub pretty decent flexing at lock with the swaybar disconnected

I think Mopar It is right, you may need to put the tires on and see. I can tell you will need to trim alot + bumpstop. In the front, if you didn't get longer control arms with your lift, you may have too.
